Jodi Albert Doesn't DO Queues Baby...

This weekend saw literally thousands of young girlband wannabes turning out in the hope of getting a golden ticket into Louis Walsh's and Kian Egan's new Pop group. We predicted favouritism as Kian's fiancée Jodi Albert was one of the auditionees - we weren't wrong folks...

Jodi Albert

We find the prospect of Kian Egan refusing his fiancée Jodi Albert a place in his and Louis Walsh's new girlband project laughable... Like he's going reject his future missus from the group? We don't think so. Not the best footing for a happy marriage Kiano - sorry Luv, you’re sacked.

Jodi Albert

On both Friday and Saturday this weekend, the poor little hopefuls lined around-the-block from the early morn to get their chance at crooning for Louis & Kian. We were told by the PR present, that there would be no special treatment for Jodi Albert - she'd have to queue just like the rest of the hopefuls... As if.

Jodi Albert

True to form, Miss Albert skipped the whole queuing bit... There was no sign of the former Hollyoaks star in unusual suspects’ line-up - that was until about 6.05pm on the Saturday, five minutes after the auditions were to end. Jodi arrived in a chauffer driven car and swanned straight into the venue without having to hangout with the great unwashed. Jodi doesn't do queues baby!

Jodi Albert

But to be fair to the 25 year old actress, she was well schooled in how to give an audition master class - auditionees take note... Wearing little or no make-up and dressed down, Jodi opted for a very natural look at The POD venue and belted out an almost perfect rendition of 'Chains' to the judges. We think many of the other girls scuppered their chances by overdoing the aul slap and going for the dreaded Mariah Carey warble. Cringe.

Kian Egan, Sheila Burgel, Louis Walsh

The judges of course were Pop svengali Louis Walsh and Westlife’s backing singer Kian Egan (well, he never gets to sing), and another lady called Sheila Burgel - whom we know very little about... Probably brought in as the impartial one.

Girlband Hopeful: Kasey Smith

Annnnd as we predicted some months back, Jodi got the callback to the Sunday round of finalists along with another 100 girls out of the thousands that tried-out... As did model Michele McGrath, who we also predicted would make it to the final round. You'd think we had a crystal ball...

Girlband Hopeful: Karena Graham

Louis Walsh commented that the talent on show in Dublin was the highest standard he's ever experienced in his long career and that Kian and he had to be ruthless when it came to cutting the numbers down. There was many a tear shed outside folks.

Girlband Hopefuls: Collette McBarron, Christina McBarron

And for once we have to agree with Mr. Walsh. We knew quite a few of the talented hopefuls who tried to cross over from the acting, beauty pageants and modelling worlds in the hope of getting a slot in the sure-fire-for-success band. Very few got Sunday callbacks.

Audition Hopefuls

Watch this space as we bring you the updates and hopefully final line-up in the coming days and weeks... Don't give up on the dream girls.
